Triumph Cafe and What I Wore

I wish this was the view from my bedroom window, but it's not. It's the back porch of Triumph Cafe, which is where I had dinner tonight. The fried rice is pretty amazing as is most of their food.

It was also very hot and very hot means a dress. This one is super light weight and floaty, great for the 90+ degrees. Once again,I'm wearing the shoes. It's hard to make my legs look like there's any length to them, but these do the trick. And how is it that aqua could go with so much in my wardrobe?

I spend my work days in jeans so even though Triumph isn't the fanciest of eateries, I always feel like wearing a dress makes me enjoy it just a little bit more. Fashion Psychology, anyone?

New Dress Vs. Bad Date

What girl doesn't get excited about a new dress. The minute we have it in our possession we're planning on the perfect place and setting to wear it. Oh how wonderful it's going to make us feel! And that's exactly how a new dress should make a girl feel. But is the occasion worth the dress? Here's a story that I heard today that made me ask that exact question...

Upon receiving her new dress that had been shipped to her office "Tammy" wondered aloud to her co-workers "Maybe I should wear this on my date tonight," to which they responded "Don't waste a new dress on that jerk. He's not worth it. Just throw on a basic black dress." (Apparently no one in her office is a fan of the young man and if many people are telling her this, there's probably some truth to it...) Anyway, if a date, even with a jerk, isn't worth a new dress, then when is the time appropriate?

Just wondering...
